Blame it on Steven "Mateen" Izzo for putting a hex on the spartan shooters in the second half. Didn't they have two droughts in the second half that lost this game for them?? Payne, Nix and Harris were a combined 8/31 from the floor, where as Duke's Seth Curry was 8/17 by himself.

Thoughts of the state of Michigan having more teams than Florida went down the drain as we will have to now settle for one from each state having one team each and playing each other on Saturday.

I really liked this team but I am so glad Derrick 'fatbottomyesyknowigotem' Nix is gone. He clogged up space for 4 long years with his 6" verical leapin trunk! I wish him luck in his next profession as Pershing High's new janitor!!
